How well does this motion detector work ? I am installing the cameras outside of car garage and monitoring my car on the driveway.

Currently, motion detection isnt functional on our NVRs. We are currently testing a firmware update for the NVR that will hopefully enable motion detection. So, I would check back in a few weeks to see if that is available. If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know. Best, Cameron Zmodo Technical Support unfortunately

These cameras are wireless and produce a pretty low quality image. I'm not sure if they will give you the quality you need for a long driveway. I use them indoors, but they might be better outdoors. I got them for the hassle free set up.

This is one of eight cameras i have. This one is high in the front of my house. Not very good res., and it does not set off the motion detector. Sorry.

What the "motion detect" does is record only movement such as a person walking by the camera or if the camera itself moves, like when someone hits your car. In between this nothing is recorded. If motion detect is set to off it only records while you are driving/moving, but once the car is no longer in motion it will not record something like someone walking around your car.

The motion detector always activates at 30 feet but sometimes at 50 feet. Intervening branches probably interfere. I'm very happy with picture quality, battery life, and with this camera overall.

yes it can be activated by animals passing the motion detector anytime of day. One thing to be certain of is to keep the line of sight clear. I once parked my car in between the receiver and the motion detector and it did not work. Otherwise it is fantastic to give a heads up that someone is coming up the driveway. Mine is more than 100 feet from the house and on the wrong side of the tree it is mounted on.

We have one contact & motion detector on front door and in foyer respectively. Our 2nd contact is in our basement on the outside door -- downstairs ~40m through the floor. Works perfectly. Hope this helps!

I am not in a position to answer yet since I had the camera put up in my carport before I found out that it needed to be programmed into my computer before I could get the camera to be functional. I'm just waiting to find out who has been keying my car so I can put some bananas in his exhaust pipe and then call the police.

I know it detects the speed traps on the interstate. As far as cameras I'm not sure.

Just one of these sucks. Two suck twice as much.They are good at detecting movement though. They detect cars pulling in the driveway, people walking up the driveway, animals as small as squirrels in my driveway or in the neighbor's yard, and tree leaves moving in the slightest of breezes. I think they can detect ghosts too. I look out the window after the alarm sounds and there is no one there.

I've been using this camera for a couple of months now. It does operate very well with the built in motion detector. The quality is good enough to get a good picture of your porch. When used with the Nexia Home Intelligent service, you can set to record for a nice length of time and also access real time when you setup an automation to alert you when camera detects motion. Hope this helps

Yes, the motion detection (setup thru blue iris) works very well with this camera.

the motion detectors are a function of the cameras. The DVR will record what it is sent. Depending on how good the cameras are, the video is very good.

Sorry. I haven't used the cameras for motion detection. They can be set up to notify your iPhone, iPad upon motion with the Foscam Pro app. The app can record a picture or up to 60 seconds of video upon motion. I just haven't had the need to do it at this point. The night vision on the camera is pretty good but I'm not sure how far it will "see" things through a window especially at night.

I used the house to protect a wireless driveway motion detector. It works fine, nice and dry. A camera would also work if the power cord wiring is not a problem

motion detector and records for 4 minutes when triggered. can be re triggered by continued motion. I have been very happy with it. the infrared function, however is questionable
